Hi David/Doug
I have had my Wisper 905se Sport for just over 3 weeks, purchased new from the Electric Transport Company in London. This week, the handlebar locking mechanism has completely failed. On Wednesday, it was a bit loose, so I tightened it all up a bit, but the handlebars just kept dropping all the time. On investigation, the metal grooved bit (see picture attached) has completely sheared off, so the mechanism has absolutely no chance of locking successfully now. I set the handlebars where I wanted them when I got the bike, and have not adjusted them since, so there's no reason why this should have failed. I have only ridden on the road - no off road at all, so there have beden a few bumps but nothing too severe. Have you had this happen before? What metal is the grooved bit actually made out of? Obviously I'm not overly impressed that this has failed after only 3 weeks, and I cannot ride the bike in this state
. I will get in touch with Electric Transport Company London as well, but I thought I'd let you know on the off-chance you have a spare grooved metal bit you could send as a replacement, and also so that you are aware this may be a weakness on the latest batch.
Cheers,
Howard
